There are some cases where checkpatch can take
a long time to complete. Reduce the likelihood
of this long run-time by adding a new test for
lines with and without comments and eliminating
checks on lines with only comments.
This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block"
calls, and also the number of tests of $stat,
which is now undefined for these blank lines.
One test in particular, the "check for switch/default
statements without a break", could take an extremely
long time to parse as it tries to skip interleaving
comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and
that could be done multiple times unnecessarily.
A small test case taken from cfg80211.h before this
patch would take 1000's of seconds to run, now it's
just a couple seconds.
